1964 Map of Carcass Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Straight Cliffs dominate the northeastern portion of this mid-1960s survey, marking a dramatic geological transition at the Garfield Co Kane Co line. This arid landscape is defined by its drainage network, where the Right Hand Collet Canyon and Long Canyon carve deep paths through the high plateaus. Evidence of human activity and resource management is sparse, though several critical water sources are identified, including Hardhead Water Spring, Relishen Seep, and Star Seep. The presence of Camp Flat and an unnamed Trail near Alvey Wash suggests the area served as a remote transit or grazing zone for local ranchers. Names like Sarah Ann Canyon and Willard Canyon reflect the regional history of land use and family-named landmarks in this remote section of Southern Utah.
